Richebourg DRC 2005
Richebourg DRC 2005 is a dry, light-bodied red from Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée grand cru, France), in the light, fresh reds style. Tannins are soft and acidity fresh; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 21-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with duck, salmon, roast chicken, charcuterie.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s holdings in Grand Cru Richebourg consist of two parcels, Les Véroilles and Les Richebourgs. These contrasting plots contribute their unique character to produce a wine with trademark power and concentration, but incredible finesse and freshness. 2005 was an exceptional year in Burgundy and Neal Martin writing in The Wine Advocate described it as having “vibrant acidity, immense precision and tension with an almost weightless, yet intense finish of ebullient red fruits. cherry, redcurrant and boysenberry with a hint of black tea.”
